Hey everyone I live in Georgia now (from NYC). Since I have been here (4yrs) I have picked up so many superstitions.
In NYC if you opened an umbrella up in doors or the black cat crossing your path bad luck, or broken mirror.

Sweep your feet, spit on the broom or your going jail.
Cook black eyed peas and greens on New Years Eve (Good luck and Money)
If your ear is ringing some one is gossiping about you.
You get a cup of first April's rain it cures ailing.:noway:


Whats your Superstitions?

    I was always told that if you sit your purse on the floor you would always be broke (What one has to do with the other I've never quite figured out)...This was drilled into me when I was growing up...

    To this day I will do a power dive across the room to catch my purse if someone tries to sit it on the floor!!! LOL :drinker:

    Those are def. southern things...I also throw salt over my shoulder if it spills or if I put too much in my hand while cooking..and you NEVER,EVER step across someone who is laying in the floor (I'm in GA and my family is southern).

    Oh, and never count the cars in a funeral procession-but you must always pull over and stop for them (so many people do not do this anymore)

    Sounds silly...but I believe that if I don't get all the money into the till BEFORE the tape stops totalling, something bad will happen that day. I'm a freak.

    When running onto and off of the baseball field, never step on the lines. It's not about keeping them nice -- it's about summoning the wrath of the baseball gods. This applies to softball too.

    Nose itching = someone is coming for a visit
    Thunder when snow is on the ground = More snow

    If the black cat one is true I'm screwed, three live under my roof!

    my Grandma and my Dad both said if you treat your money (bills) nicely, you'll always have it. This means you face all the faces the same way and unfold any creases/corners.

    Silly.

    The reason you will go broke is because someone will see a purse on the floor and steal it... you should always keep your purse where you can watch it and within reach... never abandon it.

    Oh and if your right palm is itching and you scratch it then you will run into someone you really don't want to see and if the left one is you have money coming your way. Funny thing is my left palm ALWAYS itches before payday as far as the right hand I have never scratched it to find out. Running into someone I don't like could end in jail time and Im all out of sick days for that :bigsmile:

    Never walk forward if a black cat has crossed your path.
    If your left palm is itching, you're going to come into some money, if your right - you'll lose money.
    If you swing a hat around your fist / finger, you're going to get a headache - that is, your head will hurt because the hat is misapplied. (crazy I know)
    If you spot a spider in your home, you'll get a letter.
    Before going somewhere for a lengthy period of time, one must sit down at home - just literally seconds before taking off, so as to leave an imprint of yourself in the house.
    If you are sewing a hole in something you are wearing at the moment, always keep a thread between your teeth.
    If you drop a spoon a woman will come to visit.
